New Haven Pride Center

Save the Date!

The 8th annual Dorothy Awards will take place Saturday, March 5, 2011 at Fantasia in North Haven. We will be continuing the nomination process into the summer, and more details will be available later this year.

Nominate a Community Leader for a Dorothy Award!

We always aim to honor our best, brightest and most active in the community for Dorothy Awards, but as hard as we try, we aren't always aware of everyone that is making a difference.  You can help us by nominating those who you feel are deserving of a Dorothy Award.

Simply fill out this form and let us know who you think should be honored next.  Applications are due July 31, and honorees for the 2011 event will be announced sometime in the fall.
